Bugis handle - translation script

[Paul B.]

I would like to show a script on the warangka of a Djogja keris to be translated. Could anyone be of help again?

[Green]

it is arabic "shukran"... meaning thank you

[Paul B.]

"shukran" Green!
Script seen at the back of this Djogja scabbard but vanished after repolishing as it was not an intrinsic part of the kris.

Frankly i think it is better that it did vanish. I'm not sure why someone would ink "thank you" onto their wrongko in that manner anyway.

This is Arabic text for “Sukarna” I guess the writer try to write “Sukarno” instead of “sukarna” because of letter “ ن" read as “Nun” there is no “Harkah/text sign to read it for “no” but “na-nu-ni”
